Everything Everywhere Daily - The 1826 West Point Egg Nog Riot

The United States Military Academy in West Point, New York, is one of the most prestigious academic institutions in the United States. 

Their motto of “Duty, Honor, Country” is something for every cadet that attends the academy to aspire to. 

However, things haven’t always been that way. There was a period when West Point was downright rowdy and rambunctious. 

Learn more about the 1826 West Point Egg Nog riot and how the military academy completely went out of control one Christmas on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - New cookbook ‘Jiggle!’ aims to bring gelatin back in style

In the '70s, gelatin was very much in vogue. Gatherings often featured a colorful, molded jello salad that contained surprising ingredients from cottage cheese to tuna. Those dishes have since fallen out of favor, but a new cookbook by Peter DiMario and Judith Choate declares that gelatin is back. Jiggle! includes modernized recipes for sweet, savory and layered dishes, such as Grandma's Ambrosia and Watermelon Margarita Bites. In today's episode, DiMario talks with Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes about the origins of gelatin, how to achieve the perfect suspension, and the fun of updating gelatin dishes with fresh ingredients and flavors.
